Our readers may wish to catch a portion of this interview of Dr. Reams
at "An Index for Resilience" summit in the Netherlands in 2013. Reams
speaks about the factors complicating emergency preparations in the
event of flooding coupled together with the presence of hazardous
industrial facilities. These factors raise additional variables that
households will have to consider during their personal disaster
preparations in our environs.
